Spending time with my little squires
Joshua Santana:
My thanks to you Sirs.
Concerning the New Coat of Arms, this is an update to my old "Lion Blade" COA.
I chose this one for two reasons, first it is to show that I am training towards Christian Knighthood.
Second, I was inspired as a child to model myself after St. George after reading a children's book on his famous legend. I can recall how moved I was after reading the story that I felt that I should act like him and that worked very well. It wasn't until last year that I hit on Edmmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, Book I: The Legend of the Knight of the Red Crosse, I was once again moved to model myself after this character. I recently found out that the book I read when I was a child was adapted from the Faerie Queene. I was excited and thrilled to the point where I did research on St. George himself and I consider him to be an excellent Chivalric Christian Knight. The idea of the COA bearing St. George came to me while I was designing my Full Kit, I looked up similar COA until I found the one you all noticed.
I figured it would be awesome to bear the image of a Knightly Saint on my shield and I have plans to paint a blood red cross to a buckler. It would look like this one here.
